DD was 7 months old when she was diagnosed with hayfever by an ENT consultant. She is allergic to rape pollen (it's on flower now)and grass pollens so it's Benadryl everyday now till October. Fortunatly it has stayed at the same level for the last 4 years (she's 5 now).

my son was diagnosed with allerfies at a very young age also he has really bad allergies. i always thought he was just those kind of children that get sick easily but then i realized that he may have allergies and had him tested since then I have been better able to manage them.

My DS was diagnosed with Hayfever after a trip to A & E last year (he was just 2 at the time). His eyes and nose were running like mad, itching, his tear ducts were both really swollen and almost popping out of his eye socket

DS is allergic to Grass Pollen and I think this is about from June onwards??

I have to give him liquid Piriton twice daily, keep his windows closed in his room, shower him down when he comes in from outside, put vasalene around his eyes and nose - before going out and before going to sleep, as his eyes were so bad they were sticking together when he slept , I also make sure he wears wrap around sunglasses so they're flush with his eyes all the way round, to minimise the amount of pollen getting in.

It's really awful, I felt so bad for DS when they said he had hayfever It is managable but it's very frustrating for him (and me) especially when we want to go out somewhere... we can't really stay out long otherwise his eyes get too bad

I have been told though eating locally produced honey helps with hayfever so have bought some and am starting to give him around a teaspoonful a day...will know whether or not it helps when the grass pollen is about.
